oak plant is perhaps moat frequently
encountered by the unsuspecting city
visitor to the country. Yet It may be
distinguished easily from other plants
by its shiny leaves which are grouped
in three». Two of the leaves are op-

middle leaf Is long stalked. It grows
as a short shrub or small tree. Its
berries are smooth and greenish, which
later turn to a yellowish white. Thew
